Surprise your clients. Delight your friends.
Anyone in the design business is familiar with "lorem ipsum" -- when you don't have real copy, you put in paragraphs of fake text to show that there would be copy there if you had any. (In web, sometimes you don't have real text until about a minute and a half before you launch, but that's another story...) Anyway "lorem ipsum" is Latin, and it's got something to do with pain. Fact is, no one really cares what it means, except maybe your university clients.
Malevole has come up with a great alternative text generator. You tell them how many paragraphs you need, and they provide you with the intros to television shows to drop into your designs. I got the intro to 'Hart to Hart' and 'The A-Team.' Trivia and an inside design joke all in one. Fab. (via veer.com)
